The reason we don't see aliens or space empires and such isn't that they don't exist, it's because there is an upper bound for intelligence and technological advancement that the laws of physics and computation are bounded by, and it is far lower than singularity people hope it is.
A super intelligence with the computational power of a whole galaxy still wouldn't be able to solve these problems. Heuristics do not work for problems like protein folding or mind uploading where even the change in a single subatomic particle or a single different atom completely changes everything about the object being analyzed. It requires exact solutions which are not solvable.
